After about 880 hours of investigating and $88,000 spent, the Johnson County, Kansas Sheriff’s Office said it has turned up no evidence of voter fraud in 2020.
The sheriff’s office said in September 2021, three people reported 100 allegations of election fraud to former Johnson County Sheriff Calvin Hayden. Hayden in response launched a formal investigation that spanned three years that he oversaw and directed detectives throughout.
Hayden’s handling of the matter has received substantial backlash and national attention after he provided no legitimate pieces of evidence of any fraud or voter manipulation.
Roberson said the complains ranged from allegations of voting machines switching votes to reports of poll workers allowing individuals to vote twice, among other claims….
Roberson said only one case, an allegation of “obstructing of voting privilege” was submitted to the Johnson County District Attorney’s Office for charging consideration in November 2022. Johnson County DA Steve Howe declined to prosecute.
